WANTED: Tom Bihn Buzz (old style)

If anyone has the old style buzz sling pack that is built for the 12 g4, I would love to work out a deal. I have been on a crazy manhunt for about the past month looking for one with no luck. I would accept almost any condition as long as there are no tears. Please reply if you have one laying around that is collecting dust as I am searching to the end of the earth for one!! Lol. Thanks in advance.

Hope you succeed with this, as the original Buzz is a great bag (but no, I don't want to sell mine). In my opinion, the design of the original Buzz is superior to the re-designed Buzz, and I have both. Have you tried calling the Tom Bihn 800 number to ask whether there are any still around?

Yes I have tried. They said that it would be impossible for them to make one. And none were laying around. Thanks for the response tho. And whenever you are ready to part with it please do let me know as it would come to a good home.

Your best bet is to continue monitoring this posted request. There are some other forum members who I know had the original Buzz, but I haven't seen recent logons from them (i.e., since your original post of less than a week ago.) Best bet is to look for join dates of 2007 or earlier -- since the current re-designed Buzz was introduced in 2007. Are you using this to carry a 12" G4 PowerBook? Incidentally, they even made left-handed Buzz models for a while as an additional option for the original design.

Oh man. I stumbled on this post by accident and now wish I wouldn't have.

I kind of want to help out, but I sure do love my Buzz. I believe it's from late 2006. And yes, what a great bag. It practically looks new after all these years and lots of use.

So the new ones aren't designed as well or what?

Same design, materials, and construction, but different size and proportions. Your Buzz (and the Buzz that Paypahhat is looking for) was designed to fit the 12" Powerbook. Later on, Tom redesigned the Buzz, making it larger to fit the 15" MacBook Pro. I do think you'll see the return of the smaller Buzz (likely sized to fit the 11" MacBook Air or 13" MacBook Pro) sometime in the future.

oh really???? I am tossing up between a Synapse or a Co-Pilot for my new commute bag (let's face it I'll probably succumb to both) but I do love a sling bag. Would love one that could carry my 13" MBP and was in a fun colourway (Wasabi lining at least?!)...
